Giving thanks to the brook

Language: English &emsp13;after the&emsp13;German (Deutsch)

Was this, then, what you meant,
My rushing friend?
Your singing and your ringing?
Was this what you meant?
To the miller-maid!
it seems to say...
Have I understood?
To the miller-maid!
Has she sent you?
Or am I deluding myself?
I would like to know,
Whether she has sent you.
Now, however it may be,
I commit myself!
What I sought, I have found.
However it may be.
After work I ask,
Now have I enough
for my hands and my heart?
Completely enough!
